Thanks for the replies guys. I like the idea of a top half and a bottom half finish. Didn't think of that yet. StangKilla it is heavy. Haven't weighed it yet. My guess is around 400 grams. Got my scale towshackles last week. Steel bolt and alloy(nickel/silver)shackles. And rear. Last edited by 4wd4ws; 03-31-2008 at 11:23 AM. |

Thanks Pete. It is harder to bend stainless steel. But a good tube bender and a little heat now and then will take care of that problem. The bender I use. 16mm radius,6mm groove(for 6mm tube) The parts that actually touch the tube are cast.So no scratches on stainless tube. Last edited by 4wd4ws; 03-31-2008 at 11:51 AM. |

Thanks guys. TRX90 More pics will follow. 1BJB The additional piece up front is the winchmount.Far from finished and still a little bulky. EDIT:I just re-read the post,you ment the brushguard to protect the off-roadlights.I took it off.It was a bit of creativity.Haven't found a 1:1 with a similar setup. The towshackles I use. The shackles for the towstraps. The exhaust pipe. Last edited by 4wd4ws; 03-31-2008 at 12:34 PM. |
